  • Shipbreaking yards in South Asia routinely put their workers’ lives and the environment at risk when they dismantle vessels for recycling. So why do so many foreign companies continue to send their old ships there illegally?
    #PlanetA #Shipbreaking #HumanRights
    We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world - and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

      Being that the majority of the people of Bangladesh live in poverty, if you stopped ships from getting scrapped there, the poverty would only get worse. Maybe the ship owners should help build and pay for infrastructure to safely scrap the ships in Bangladesh.

      No law that Europe makes will work, the only thing that will happen is that companies will build ships outside of Europe using an intermediary of another nationality, and will use these ships wherever they wish. Only an idiot will choose the most expensive way to solve problems.

    If you were in Bangladesh you would understand that an issue with vessels is the least what people there are care about.

    You have to add an end-of-life fee to the purchase price of a ship. Ship construction is $100 million so add $10 million, and the money is invested by the World Bank (or similar). At the end of the working life of the ship, the World Bank pays an approved dismantler to safely dismantle & dispose of toxic waste. Any profit from recycling goes back into the pool towards the next ship. While the money invested accrues interest so if the costs of dismantling go up that's covered.

      These is misinformation in the video. The ship breaking industry is safe in India and workers are not exposed to any unsafe environment. About 99% of the total materials recovered from the ships are recycled. Of the total recoverable material over 95% is steel, about 1-2% of total LDT (light displacement tonnage) is the other valuable metals and 0.5-8% is furniture and other fixtures. The steel is sold to the re-rolling mills, which is the main source of revenue. Better make a video on how the other countries could follow the India's way of safe recycling of ships.

    There needs to be some kind of world wide recycling system where we all share the load and come up with more ways to repurpuse things and better ways toexpose of toxic and harmful chemicals. As well has batterys and so on. I feels were getting close to wall E. No close but no real mass solutions out there. We (as in humans) barely go the ocean clean up going.

    Beaching method itself is not responsible for polluting the sea and soil, most of the time it is explained wrongly. It is possible to dismantle a vessel safely and without having any activity in the intertidal zone even after applying the beaching method. If the landing method used in Turkey is acceptable to EU then why not the beaching method? Technically there is no significant difference between these two methods. It only depends how you treat/ follow the methodology for recycling after the beaching/ landing of the vessel.

    In the 19th century, when Europe and America used to do such things, there were not so many laws. Now when they have developed, it is now happening when advanced underdeveloped countries like Bangladesh are doing such things. It is becoming an environmental problem. I am not against this legislation, but when Someone makes a rule because it leaves many opportunities for theft, that is the core of every law. We don't say it openly, but we all who have studied law know it. And this is the real truth. The biggest example of this is, now we talk about human rights. While Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, Europe and America have two types of human rights violence, one is a kind of human rights with white skin, and the other is those who do not have white skin, another kind of human rights for them. That's why I will say whatever you say, at the end of the day, those businessmen who understand capitalism always create all kinds of systems for them to evade such laws. Ordinary media and ordinary people like you can't do anything about them. There is no use, first of all, you have to be good to yourself, and then you have to show your hand on the other side.

    Sure, your words make sense, but here's my question: Have we really escaped from colonialism, or are we still trapped in its clutches? Do you think it's because the United States and their European Union allies haven't yet controlled the market and manipulated the financial system enough to dominate a significant portion of the world's population? But do you really believe that we are beyond colonialism, perhaps not in the same way, but still stuck within the confines of a system that keeps us ensnared?🙄🙄 So, for your sake, let me give you a heads-up from my side. Step out of spreading this kind of twisted news that confuses people. Of course, I'll also mention that every country has its own selfish foreign policy, determining who they work with and showing less interest in collaborating with others. It's their exclusive affair. Here, if you dare to offer advice or suggest cultural assimilation or share New Age advice with anyone else, it functions like a virus. So, let me tell you, firstly, clean up the mess you have in your own backyard, and then come to offer advice to others.

    What about the people whose livelihoods depend on these ship-breaking jobs in Bangladesh? You talk about their health and safety but nothing else. How will they put food on the table and pay to send their children to school when all the ship breaking work has been sent back to Europe? Not to mention the secondary economy of recycling and reusing the steel.
    This video is an endless parade of privileged, well educated people talking about taking away these peoples jobs like they're doing them a personal favour. Yes, I get that it's bad for the environment and should probably end but if there isn't a plan in place to transition these workers into new / different industries it's going to ruin thousands of peoples lives. Where is the recognition of that fact in this video? Nowhere.

      Hey Ross! You are right, this is a big issue. However, currently the work is not sustainable as a lot of people die, get sick or the people around can become sick. Until Bangladesh enforces the rules, it might be better to do the ship breaking in other places.
